Dave Patterson: Are Air Attacks on Iran Seriously Depleting US Munitions?

The war in Iran erupted nine days ago, and as the US continues hammering the Middle Eastern nation with air strikes, many are wondering if such attacks are depleting US military supplies. The short answer is no. Even with the massive amount of munitions being expended on ground targets inside Iran and in air defense against Iranian ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles, the US is not running out of ordnance. But US forces are phasing in certain types of munitions where stockpiles are plentiful, suggesting good stewardship of air combat capabilities.
